Once I got my tablet, I never use my e-reader anymore. Maybe I should sell it.

Ah, true. Why only get an e-reader anymore, when a multi-purpose tablet has e-reader capability?A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Because they suck.
I've got a Nexus 7 & an iPad Retina, and I still read with my Kindle. The tablets are heavy and hard on the eyes for a long time reading (the backlight)."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I didn't think about the backlight. But aren't there tablets now that weigh only one and half pound?Originally posted by Asher View PostA lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

There's also the question of battery life. I charge my Kindle maybe once a month. I charge my tablet every day. Kindle is also much lighter than 1.5 pounds, it's around half a pound.Originally posted by MrFun View PostGraffiti in a public toilet

Studies have also shown the backlight makes it harder to sleep at night. I mostly read before bed, so that matters to me.
“Our study shows that a two-hour exposure to light from self-luminous electronic displays can suppress melatonin by about 22%. Stimulating the human circadian system to this level may affect sleep in those using the devices prior to bedtime.”"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

If you want a device to read, an e-ink based e-reader is what to get. Easier on the eyes than LCD and, as Asher points out, allows for you to sleep if you read it before bed. Also the battery on an e-reader lasts at least a month.
If you are only reading sparingly, then maybe a tablet is worth it - but for a reader, get something worth it.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
